15:22Now PlayingRhode Island law enforcement officials are looking into the conduct of two longtime Providence police officers caught on video smashing a handcuffed man's face into the ground over the weekend.
Around 9:30 pm Sunday, 21-year-old Armando Rivas was arrested by Captain Stephen Gencarella and Lieutenant Matthew Jennette at the city's India Point Park following the July Fourth celebration after he left his parked vehicle unattended in the travel lane.
Police say officers struck Rivas in the head, handcuffed him, and took him to the ground after he resisted arrest.
Video obtained by GoLocalProv shows Rivas was handcuffed and lying face down when one officer grabbed his head and smashed it into the pavement.
State Attorney General Peter Neronha and the Providence Police Department Office of Professional Responsibility have opened an investigation into Rivas' arrest.
